Don't see us getting Torrey smith

[gtanaka]

Apparently the Ravens offered him a 5-year $35 million dollar deal. I don't see anyway that gettleman commit that much money for that long to Smith, especially with important extensions coming up.

[Mr. Scot]

I wouldn't pay that much.

$5 mil a year for him is too much in my opinion.  He's a solid #2, but he's a poor man's Mike Wallace and we see how it turned out when he went to a new team.

To be fair to Wallace, Tannehill was terrible throwing deep to him, and he's a deep threat. Actually had a lot of TDs this year considering his skill set. Now I wouldn't want us paying Smith $5M/year but he's easily worth that or more. I don't see us getting Smith either though so it doesn't really matter what he gets.

[PhillyB]

i'd pay him 5/35 but no more… unless he feels it's him or smith i'd guess he'll accept.

Those is crack prices

You could get the same production out of Brandon Tate and he is already familiar with our system.

Let me send two texts and i can tell you what he will do.

Was just going to post something similar. I wouldn't go as far as saying Tate but there's guys in the draft that would bring what Torrey brings to the table for a fraction of the cost.

The only 2 guys I'd break the bank for are BeyBey and Dez. Both guys I expect will be back with their previous teams. This draft is once again deep on the offensive side of the ball as far as playmakers go, really hoping we end up grabbing more than just 1 this time.

I never got my hopes up.

Lolol nooooo way we get him. Still holding out hope for Cecil shorts

I think that offer was made at the beginning of the season and he had a down year. I would not be surprised to see it change.  Don't forget, he is now playing with Steve Smith, and, for whatever reason, WRs he plays with underperform.

http://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2015/2/8/8002231/torrey-smith-stats-that-will-blow-your-mind pretty interesting article on his "down year" wouldn't say I agree with everything but still an interesting read

[MHS831]

We had success with rookies in 2014.  The draft is LOADED again at WR and Benjamin and Brown will not be rookies in 2015.  Expect improvement from them.  So why not save $5-6 million and go with another draft pick at WR since the pickings are good there?  Is the difference between Smith and a first or second-round rookie $6 million?  I bet not.

 

 I think the draft has deep talent at RB, WR, DT, and to some degree, OT.

 

If I have a limited amount of $$, I am not going to spend it in an area where the draft is loaded, the draft that gives me the same (albeit inexperienced) player at 1/5 the cost.  I am spending the $$ where the draft is weak.   So, do not be surprised to see free agents here at DT, CB, and LB.  I think Gettlemen will bring in 2-3 OTs this year, hoping a free agent or a draft pick stick.
